Game 1 of the Knicks-Spurs NBA Finals is Wednesday night in San Antonio and resale ticket prices are still through the roof for the three potential games at Madison Square Garden.
According to online ticket reseller TickPick, the first Finals game at the Garden since 1999 — Game 3 on June 8 — has a lowest listed ticket price of $4,539 as of Monday afternoon with an average purchase price of $4,990.
Game 3 tickets on StubHub ranged from a low of $4,734 to a high of $52,019. On SeatGeek, the range was $4,331 to $50,534.
After the Knicks earned a Finals berth, tickets for home games started in the $3,000 range with some tickets listed for more than $100,000.
"The Knicks have one of the most passionate, diehard fanbases in all of sports — and they're now getting the moment they've waited for over two and a half decades,” said Kyle Zorn, TickPick’s director of content and a former Stony Brook lacrosse player. “Games 3 and 4 are already the most expensive NBA Finals tickets on record. If the series extends to Game 6 or 7, new records will undoubtedly be set. The only question is how high they'll go."
Game 4, which is scheduled for June 10 at the Garden, has a lowest-priced ticket on TickPick of $3,680.
A potential Game 6 at MSG has its lowest-priced tickets on TickPick listed at $5,244. Prices are higher because fans are hoping that could be the night the Knicks clinch their first NBA title since 1973.
Fans who can find their way to San Antonio will find cheaper resale tickets for the first two series games at Frost Bank Center — under $1,000 on some sites.
For Game 1, TickPick has a lowest-priced ticket of $983. For Friday’s Game 2, tickets were listed starting at $1,260.
Games 5 and 7 were pricier, with Game 5 listed starting at $1,577 and Game 7 — which, if it is needed, is when a new NBA champion definitely will be crowned — starting at $3,861.
To date, the Knicks have not offered face value tickets to the general public. A presale for fans who had signed up as directed by the club was canceled last week without warning and has not been rescheduled.
The Spurs sold a limited number of upper bowl tickets to the general public for more than $1,000 for their home games and limited purchases to those with a ZIP code of 150 miles or less from the arena.
